where can I buy a good used LS1 with a 6 speed and what should this cost?

 

6spd option alone is around 2-2500 depending on what all is included. might save a bit buying one straight out of a car though.

a4 with harness, engine and cpu can run anywhere from 2,500-5,000 depending on location, mileage, etc.

i'd say with a 6spd 4-5,000 with everything and good miles would be safe. any less and your getting a pretty decent deal, any more and i'd look more.

 

thankyou

 

I would give Tennessee Auto a call, Scott is a good guy to deal with and always has LS1s with both 4L60E and T56's and isn't bad on pricing either.

 

You could try the guys over at www.thirdgenparts.com They seem to get LT1s and LS1s in all the time.

 

if you have the time you can usually get a wrecked ls1 car for around 4500-5k

i got my 99 TA for about that.. you have to pay a bit more for shippin but its well worth it considering you get every part you need and can sell the others to make up a bit of the difference

 

They're actually getting more and more expensive every day especially 6 speed cars. I've seen a 2000 SS with an LS1/6-speed that was hit pretty hard in the back with 20k miles go for 10k at an auction.

 

I thought this board was for people who already have done the swap?

 

"Putting LT1's, LS1's, and their variants into Third Gens is becoming more popular. This board is for those who have done the swaps so they can continue to discuss all of their technical aspects, including repairs and performance upgrades."

Huh, you're right. meh.

 

heh, when the hell did this board show up?? lol.

 

check your pm's i sent you a link to a nationwide yard search. there are plenty of ls1 6 speed combos for 3-4,000 with low mileage all across the country on there.

 

ebay!!! I got my LS1, 6-speed, all accessories and brackets, all underhood wiring etc... for $2500 But you have to be carefull, there are as many scammers as there are good deals.

 

You might want to try Hawks. You might have to pay a little more, but Bruce will stand behind anything he sells. I have heard horror stories about E-bay ripoffs. Be carefull.

P.S. I don't any harm is done if a guy still in the planning stage uses this board. We were all there once.

 

when i do an LS1 swap, will i need to purchase all these parts (respective of transmission)

or will the 1's already on my car be good.

 

since no one has ever mentioned it.. try Billy Graham's 4th gen auto salvage.. all they do is 4th gen cars and usually have a few engines available.. check the name on google to get the website. they also advertise in chevy high performance, camaro performers, and super chevy magazines.
